Ordered 200 of these for $40!
I thought if even a portion of them worked, hey, that's still a great price.
I burn all discs at 4x and they work PERFECT.
Haven't had any problems playing games on PS2 using these and my Apex AD-1110 and AD-703 like these discs.
Every DVD player I've tried these in has had no problems.
Recommended. (White printable surface, star in the center, no text)

My old LG burner has no problem burning them at 4X and good results but the Benq only allow 2.4X and skipping with my Apex stand alone, no problem playing it on the Benq tho. Avoid it if you have the Benq

Discs are silver on top and blue on the bottom. Good burn reliability, but only really played well on my PC. Doesn't load at all on a Hitachi DVD/VCR. Plays a little but skips too much to be wacthable on Phillips standalone player Q35 and on some PS2's. Plays ok but some skips on Apex and on some PS2's. Plays perfectly on my PC drive that I use to burn, the LITE ON LDW-451S. burned about 25 so far only one bad burn buit it was my fault. Oh and all burn was done on 4x's useing DVD decrytper 3.2.2.0. And when I use Ritek 4x's orange tops under the same conditions I get perfect DVD's that play on everything tested. If you have a Lite ON stick with orange top Ritek I found them for $.8 a disc in store I bought these Longten generic for $.4 including shipping, but they took four days to get here. When I puechased them I called and they told me they were compatable with the burner and they are, but I didn't ask if they were compatible with players. I didn't think the sellers were friendly though

this media is cheap, but it works pretty good.
only in a 50 pack do you get one or two bad ones but the rest is good. and cheap too.

The worst media you will have, I purchased from a Ebay selling for $65 a 100 disk, It mention it Verbatim generic, about 3 weeks it came from taiwan; very BAD media, bad sectors, Avoit it.

3 disks burned, 1 disk failed to complete, the other 2 have CRC errors, and cause standalone players to lock up!

I was leary on the 1st purchase of 100, But all 100 burnt, checked clean by DVDinfo Pro and played without error on standalone playback. Purchase price was $44.00US per 100. I have sinced purchased 200 more and am into about 30 of that batch with no problems burning, checking or playing.

Picked up 50 of these for $59 Canadian so I figured even if I coaster 24 of them, it'll still be cheaper than buying expensive media. So far, not one coaster with the NEC 1300A and 1.09 firmware. Plays in standalone, Xbox, PS2 and everything else I can think of throwing it into. Fantasticly cheap media! Highly reccommend!

Good media so far; have burned 9 flawless dvd-video discs with the LG GSA-4040B. Only problem (most likely do to the drive's firmware) is that this 4x media was only capable of being burned @ 2x.

Incompatible with everything I tried on. Did not burn with firmware 2.23. Firmware 2.16 burnt very long (hours) with hundred of thousands of errors. The result disc did not play on LITEON LTD163, Apex 1500, Apex 2600.
Very bad media. Beware!

Bought 20 discs, and burned 16 so far. At least 1 disc have read errors on outer edge of disc when checked with DVDInfo. Questionable quality! Will not buy this media again. Stay away from this product.

Comments posted by Frank from Other, October 12, 2003:
Advertised at 2x.
33 burns completed on my LG 4040B
25% failed verification (mostly at the end of the disc)
After only 2 weeks, the others are degrading and have read errors.

This media is absolute crap. It was cheap and I was too stupid to research this properly.

Bought 25 pack advertised as B Grade to burn on my NEC 1300a - would only write to them after hacked 1.07v2 firmware update from http://herrie.rpc1.org and even then it was only worth writing to them at 2x. Data/Movies would not read back on the NEC or LG 3200e standalone read errors/freezes and skips but worked fine in toshiba notebook dvd-rom and a Dell notebook dvd-rom.
